A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2592

“Congrats!” said Joan, as they sat around in Jake's living room.

That day, Jake had openly admitted that her assistant, Faye, was his girlfriend. Therefore, Joan no longer needed to worry that Larry would get jealous of him. She could freely interact with Jake from then on.

“It's all thanks to you,” he replied embarrassedly in a low voice.

“Oh? That's right. You really should thank me. If I hadn't scouted for Faye, you wouldn't even have known that she existed!” she teased, laughing.

As she continued to tease Jake, Faye stood by them with her head lowered, blushing hard.

Noticing her assistant behave so shyly, Joan patted her on the shoulder in comfort. “Don't be so nervous. Even if he's the president of a large company, he's still your boyfriend.”

In reality, she knew that Faye felt somewhat inferior. She was born into a poor family, had no background nor reputation, and did not have any outstanding abilities. Naturally, there were times when she felt small compared to Jake.

“Don't worry, all that matters is that I like you,” he said as he walked over to hug her.

Raising her head to look at him, Faye nodded eagerly.

“I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here as a third wheel!” As soon as she said that, Joan picked up her bag and left.

Everyone had thought that Jake and Faye would be able to live happily together after that.

However, life was full of accidents, and some things seemed to have been planned out by the gods.

That day, Joan had gone to a cafe to sign an agreement with the photography studio's new business partner when she realized that she had forgotten to bring the contract with her. Anxious, she hurriedly called Faye.

“When do you need it by, Ms. Watts?” Faye asked over the phone.

“I need it now!”

Then, she hung up and turned back to the person in front of her. She said embarrassedly, “I'm so sorry. My assistant will bring the contract over soon.

"It's fine,” he replied, taking a sip of his coffee.

Staring at the heavy rain outside, Joan felt very uneasy for no apparent reason.

As time continued to tick by, Joan got increasingly irritated.
